Chapter 1366 The Last Two Fragments
There are too many people killed on this day, at least 40,000 people died in the slaughter of Li Jin's army, most of them are eunuchs and the Beiya forbidden army, after this war, the eunuchs of Chang'an have killed from the peak of more than 20,000 to the current single digits, and half of the buildings in Daming Palace have been burned to ruins, although Li Jin has taken the opportunity to clear the suspicion of dissidents, but after all, the vast majority of the eliminated are still the ministers who have long complained about the government and the opposition.
The Tang Dynasty has just revealed the scourge of eunuch dictatorship that has just been uprooted in a blink of an eye, and perhaps the situation of eunuchs chaotic in the late Tang Dynasty will forever be nipped in the bud.
However, the prince, who was majestic during the day, was not happy at this time.
The night is already deep, Chang'an City, which has the habit of night ban, is even more dead and silent as if a needle has dropped and can be heard clearly, the children of the family who were still enjoying themselves in various cities at night did not dare to come out in the mansion, and the courtiers were also silent, not to mention the series, they didn't even dare to go out of the study door, and some even prepared Bai Aya and a suicide note, just waiting for the Mintang sergeant to come to the door to get people, so as to take a step ahead of themselves to protect others.
Listening to the sound of the horses' hooves of the Mintang patrol cavalry outside the door, even Xiao Er didn't even dare to cry at night, and the whole Chang'an atmosphere didn't dare to breathe.
However, the frightened Chang'an Shimin didn't know that most of the soldiers of the Beijing division of the Min and Tang armies that frightened them were scolding their mothers for doing coolies! It is really out of the mix and will have to be returned sooner or later, the Daming Palace that has become dilapidated is brightly lit, and most of the palace rooms illuminated by thousands of braziers are as bright as day, and one after another after half a day of fierce battles in Beijing soldiers hummed and carried out the corpses of eunuchs and the corpses of the forbidden army of the Northern Ya, loaded on carts, and transported to Longshouyuan for landfill like dead pork.
Although some eunuchs can use the gold and silver on their bodies as external fishing, they can come from Tubo, and they have not been given a good rest for more than ten consecutive days, and it is not as affordable to give them a mountain of gold at this time as to have a good rest.
Especially Zichen Palace, while using a knife to smash the large blood stains splattered on the wall, Cui Sigu also muttered sadly: "If you didn't say it earlier, you would have said that you would kill people in another place!" ”
This sentence is the voice of almost all the soldiers of the Beijing division who are tired and tired of working hard.
The soldiers of the Jingshi who were cleaning up in the palace didn't know that now they were lucky, in the inner treasury in the north of the Ziji Palace, the soldiers there were really tormented.
More than 700 remnants of the Beiya Forbidden Army were desperately churning on the ruins with hoes like sheep, and Cheng Boxian, who was in charge of supervising the work, Changsun Ling and other generals of the Beijing Division, as well as large and small leaders, were cold in their crotches, because their crown prince Li Jin was spinning in circles in place one by one, and his mouth was full of broken thoughts.
"What can I do? Daming Palace has been destroyed, and with the temper of the eldest father, he must not pull out a layer of skin from the prince! ”
"Anyway, there is a shortage of eunuchs now, and whoever burns the house will enter the palace as a eunuch to compensate, the responsibility will be pushed down, and the merits and demerits will be offset, I am a dignified prince, and the eldest father should not smoke me too badly, right?"
Li Jie's degree of consultation on architectural monuments is well known throughout the Fujian and Tang Dynasties, not to mention that it won't be long before his emperor will be in Guanzhong, and Daming Palace is very likely to be a major place to hold a series of ceremonies.
In the panic of a large group of people, the most fearful one is none other than the eunuch Qin Guan, after all, what others are worried about is the small head, his small head has been cut off, and now what needs to be worried about is the big head, if the head is gone, everything will be over!
Lucky for him, among the hundreds of eunuchs waiting to be executed, Li Jin reached him as soon as he stretched out his hand, and he continued to kill after using Li Jin's means, but almost all the eunuchs in Daming Palace were killed, and if you want to find something, you have to have a familiar person, Qin Guan's head has only been left until now.
Seeing that Li Jin had become more and more impatient to send someone to urge, Qin Guan's head was sweating and raining, but the entire wooden Dongneku had been burned to ashes, and the things that the prince was looking for were too small, he had never seen it at all, and he didn't even know if it existed, he tossed in the middle of the night, there was not even a shadow, Qin Guan's legs were already trembling, and he didn't even care about the majesty of the former general manager, pushed away the coolies of the Beiya Forbidden Army, and personally fluttered in the silk ash.
"Haven't you found it yet?"
In October, Long Shouyuan was still very cold, and after freezing for half the night, his patience was finally exhausted, Li Jin hugged his arm, and actually walked over in person, and asked with a gloomy face: "Haven't you found it yet?" ”
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Please give the prince a little more time! ”
Almost trembling into a sieve, he had never had a low attitude, Eunuch Qin prayed sadly, but this time maybe his goddess of luck favored him, Li Jin was rare and generous, frowned, and then waved his hand boringly: "Forget it, finish it today, and find it tomorrow!" ”
Today can be regarded as saving his head, Qin Guan really knelt down gratefully, kowtowed to Li Jin, and had no time to embarrass a eunuch, the cold and impatient Li Jin led an officer and guard who was worried about his life, and turned around and was about to walk towards the Taiji Palace, planning to find a place to rest for a while in the East Inner East Palace tonight.
Relieved, Qin Guan was also in a hurry to show Li Jin the way with a lantern, but before he could take two steps, Li Jin suddenly screamed; "Wait! Don't move! ”
The prince suddenly became nervous, and the hundreds of soldiers beside him really didn't dare to move, seeing Li Jin rushing in front of him like a cat, Qin Guan nodded and asked with a smile: "Prince, what do you command?" Where do you want to go to the palace? ”
is no longer a man, Qin Guan can still show the kind of obscene smile on his face that men understand, and whispered to Li Jin like a treasure: "In this palace, the old slave is Men'er Qing, which of the concubines of the puppet emperor is the most beautiful and charming, the old slave knows clearly, this night is also deep, do you want the old slave to lead His Royal Highness the prince around the palace?" ”
However, before Qin Guan finished speaking, Li Jin suddenly withdrew a cigarette gun from the eunuch's waist, two irregular fragments of crystal jade emitted a faint milky white light, and it happened that the two pendants were hanging under the cigarette gun, it was the second year of Zhenguan, and they fell from the sky like a meteor, falling in Chang'an, as well as the fragments of the Turkic jade seal, what Li Jie was looking for!
Slapped his head suddenly, Qin Guan then remembered that in the year when he was in charge of the inner library, he was short of two pendants to make a smoking gun, and he saw that these two pieces could be bright at night in the royal inner library, and the texture was warm and hard, so he stole them, it was more than ten years ago, and later when Li Jie rode into Chang'an, he sent someone to find it, but he didn't find it.
After looking for something all night, he didn't expect it to be on his waist, and Eunuch Qin couldn't help but pat his thigh excitedly: "Hey, it's really a thousand times to find him, and it doesn't take much effort to get it!" ”
Just shouted and played excitedly, but Qin Guan's smiling face froze on his pale old face. His expression was extremely difficult, and Li Jin, who had been frozen for no reason, had his eyes on fire and shouted angrily: "You dare to steal what Gu is looking for!! ”
His face turned into a bitter gourd face in an instant, and Eunuch Qin couldn't wait to slap himself twice, what is it bad to be greedy? This time, the head is ironclad and greedy!
…………
Tossed for half a night, although the Daming Palace is still a sign of collapse and destruction, the corpse has been almost cleaned up, and the soldiers of the Beijing Division who came from thousands of miles finally lived in the barracks of the Beiya Forbidden Army, and there was a snoring immediately.
The soldiers can sleep, but Li Jin can't sleep, Dai Zhide and Li Zhi's ministers who stayed in Chang'an and the officials of the six ministries are now all blocked by him in Zhongshu Province and continue to stay up all night, Li Jin simply put tea in the outer hall of Zhongshu Province, while pouring himself a drink, while fiddling with the two pieces of new arrival.
In Li Jin's hands, these two pieces were broken pieces of large jade, turned over and over several times, and really couldn't see anything special, Li Jin muttered his head: "Why does the eldest father never forget this thing?" ”
Cheng Boxian on the side didn't think about these profound questions, relying on the fact that he was Li Jin's favorite general, and his face was familiar, he simply leaned over with his bearded face, stared at the two pieces with straight eyes, and asked angrily: "Prince, can this thing really make Your Majesty Longyan happy?" ”
"Who knows? Anyway, the eldest father has been looking for these two things for more than ten years, and if you want me to say, this thing is far less valuable than the jade seal of the country! Throwing two pieces of fragments casually, Li Jin reached out and grabbed the jade seal of the Heshi Bichuan Kingdom copied from Zhongshu Province, even if he couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart.
Cheng Boxian is a rough man, but he doesn't understand the weight of the meaning between these two kinds of jade, but he can have the merit to prevaricate the burning of the Daming Palace, and it is good to keep the small head, the beard and mouth are grinning, and Cheng Boxian pleaded with a happy arch fist: "Prince, then let the last general quickly send these two pieces to Your Majesty!" ”
"No!"
Who knew that Li Jin suddenly put the two jade pendants into his bag and put them in his arms, which made Cheng Boxian stunned.
"Prince, this ............"
"It's not that you want to swallow these two things privately, you want to swallow this!" The right thing is too tempting, grabbing the heirloom jade seal, Li Jin grabbed it for a while, and then reluctantly stretched out his hand and handed it to Cheng Boxian: "Your Majesty has an order, just if you can't find these two things, you don't need to send them if you find them!" Your Majesty comes to take it yourself, but for the son of man and for the minister, the jade seal of the country cannot be monopolized, Cheng Boxian, I hope you will hurry up tomorrow, send the jade seal to Xizhou, and tell Your Majesty that Guanzhong has been decided! ”
"Hey!"
His heart suddenly rose, and Cheng Boxian held the jade seal with his bright hands, and knelt down heavily to receive the order.
…………
Although Li Jin's massacre yesterday was cruel and tragic, it was only collected in one day, and it mainly affected the palace area, and the people who killed were also the big families, princes and generals, and the turmoil did not affect the entire Chang'an, so when the sun rose from the east on the second day, the initial panic was overcome, and this metropolis with a population of one million came alive again.
And Li Jin's ruthless hand also showed that the officials at all levels who stayed in the imperial court were all doing their best, not daring to make a mistake, and some ambitious clans also began to weigh up, if they took the opportunity to start an incident, would the consequences not be bearable by them!
The double-headed golden dragon banner of the Min and Tang dynasties began to flutter fiercely over Chang'an, and in the early morning, the west gate of Chang'an, which had been confined all night, suddenly opened, personally holding a box, Cheng Boxian led more than 1,000 elite horsemen, and began to go straight to the west with a whip and prancing horse.
On the map, with the pace of Cheng Boxian's cavalry, thousands of miles from Chang'an to Xizhou, the states and counties along the way are also like dominoes, and they have opened their doors to Fujian and Tang!
